VISA read in exe file is not working

Hi all, I am having problems with VISA read in an exe file created. I am trying to write to and read from a programmable power supply via RS232. The VI writes a command to the instrument to set the voltage level. It then writes another command, requesting the resulting current value. This value is then read by VISA read The VI is working fine on the development PC, which has LabVIEW installed. The exe file is also working fine on this PC. However, when I try to run the exe file on another PC (I've tried several) everything seem to work except for the VISA read functions. The voltage level command is sent, as well as the On and OFF commands, but the current is not read back. I guess there must be something I have missed in the installation. I am working in LabVIEW 8.5. I have created an installer and included Runtime Engine 8.5.1 VISA runtime 4.5 Is there something else I should do? I am really running out of ideas here... I hope someone has a clue about this! Clara

Clara-
1. Have you verified that the COM port settings in Windows (check under device manager) are matching how you initialize them (Baud, bits, parity, and flow control) and that these match the power supply's settings?
2. Also, are you trapping an error message after the attempted Read command (this will make it a lot easier to diagnose).
3. Do you programmatically close the VISA session at the end of the program?
4. You can always post the code to see if the forum members will catch the porblem.

I try to connect an Instrument over GPIB and I use VISA from a Windows2000 PC without LabView installed. The GPIB-card is not from National Instruments. The Programm is running as EXE-application. What else do I have to install beside the EXE-file to access the Instrument?

Like many people (I am discovering more by the minute), I am unable to install 9i Lite.5.01. When the setup.exe file is triggered, a hourglass appears for a second, then nothing... I am installing on a windows 2000 terminal server, therefore I have to go through (Control Panel) Add/Remove Programs. The Oracle Universal Installer says that setup.exe is either a directory or is corrupt. I have tried a couple of fixes suggested in this forum, such as unzipping the files to /install/disk, but to no avail. I have also tried downloading the software again, but with the same results. Is there anyone out there who has successfully overcome this problem ?

Yes, there has been a problem reported with setup.exe on the Pentium 4 processor.
To overcome the problem, copy the contents of the CD on to your hard drive.
Then search for every occurence of the file symcjit.dll under the base directory where u have copied from your CD.
and rename them to symcjit.old.
Then launch setup.exe.
This should take care of the problem

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Hello, I use Meausrement studio 2013 with visual studio 2012 and vbnet on windows 7. On a new project (windows form application), i use a form and a ScatterGraph component. I compile, no errors and it works fine. Now, i try to start this application on a another Windows 7 station. (The framework 4.5 is installed on its station). The exe file is in a directory with the natrional Instruments dll files. The exe file will not start, no errors. PS: Before, with Meausrement studio 2010 and visual studio 2010 all worked fine.

Hi, virgule
It sounds like you are using the "Publish" feature in Visual Studio (a.k.a., ClickOnce) for deployment, is that correct? If so, unfortunately ClickOnce is not supported by Measurement Studio components.
If you are looking for a good way to deploy Measurement Studio applications, I would highly recommend upgrading to Measurement Studio 2015, which ships with Measurement Studio Installer Builder. You can read more about this here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52669/en/
If you cannot update to Measurement Studio 2015 and are using Visual Studio 2013, NI recommends using WiX for creating your installer. More information on WiX deployment can be found here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/764B727C9BD2C4C686257C970053D059
Thanks,

Hi Gurus, i am using NETBEANS IDE 7.2. i am developing a project that interacts with databases 10g and COM ports of machine , these all processes are performed by .bat file which i am trying to run from jFramform , code works perfectly .bat file is also called perfectly when i run the project using F6 from the NETBEANS, for testing i placed some dialogue boxes on the form to test it , but when i run executable .jar file , form run successfully and dialogue box works perfectly but .bat file is not called by executable .jar file. this is how i call the .bat file... String filePath = "D:/pms/Libraries/portlib.bat"; try { Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(filePath); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); and below is the contents of portlib.bat file java -jar "D:\SMS\SMS\dist\SMS.jar" you must probably ask why i am calling a .jar file using .bat file . reason is that this .jar project sends message using GSM mobile , System.exit(); is compulsory to complete a job and then do the next one , if i use the same file to execute this job it makes exit to entire the application (hope you can understand my logic). that's why i use extra .jar file in .bat file , when single job is completed .bat exits itself and new command is given. Problem is that code is working perfectly in NETBEANS when i run the project but when i run .jar then .bat file is not working , thanks.

Thanks Sir ,
You need to first test an example that works like the one in the article.
There are plenty of other examples on the web - find one you like:
http://javapapers.com/core-java/os-processes-using-java-processbuilder/
I tried this one.
try {
ProcessBuilder dirProcess = new ProcessBuilder("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
File commands = new File("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
File dirOut = new File("C:/process/out.txt");
File dirErr = new File("C:/process/err.txt");
dirProcess.redirectInput(commands);
dirProcess.redirectOutput(dirOut);
dirProcess.redirectError(dirErr);
dirProcess.start();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(mainform.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
as instructed in the article i compiled both the projects at same version or sources and libraries which is 1.7
here is my version details
C:\>javac -version
javac 1.7.0_07
C:\>java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
inside the NETBEANS IDE c:\process\err.txt remains empty and code works perfectly , but when I run executable .jar file( by double clicking on that file in dist directry) then c:\process\err.txt becomes full with this error text and there is no response from calling D:\SMS\SMS\send_message.bat
here is the error text

After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone, everytime I turn on my computer I receive a message that reads: "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite.dll" Help! Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Yes. I just solved the problem on my PC. Here goes...
Issue: My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
Solution:
1. You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite". This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
3. Uninstall Mobile Me.
4. Restart your PC.
5. Reinstall Mobile Me.
6. Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application. I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
This is where the file was located:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
I hope this helps,
Ron

File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13. I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem. Thanks

I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

Hi everyone, I have produced files using Captivate 2, that have output as .exe. These work perfectly across all of our sites, except one. The only issue with the site where the files are not working is: - Click box within the Flash file do not progress to the next page I have output with 'Playback control' and the users at the site in question are able to progress through along the Playback bar. However, I only placed this in for the purposes of testing the file. The final files need to not have the 'Playback control'. Does anyone know what I can do differently, to ensure the click boxes work on this site in question? I look forward to hearing from you. Ravi Sandhu

Hi Ravi
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. You seem to be saying a Click Box isn't working. But you say the "Click Box within the Flash File". I'm not sure if this means you have used Flash to create a button or something that you are trying to use with Captivate or if you simply mean that you have used Captivate to create a SWF, and inside that SWF the Click Box doesn't seem to work.
What would be helpful is if we could see the project first hand. Are you able to post the .CP file for us to download and view? If that's not possible, what about posting a screen capture of the slide with the issue where we can see the entire timeline and all objects.
Cheers... Rick

Due to Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer I uninstalled the program. When I re-installed Photoshop Elements 12 on the same computer the "Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe" file is not available. I have tried loading Photoshop Elements 12 from the Adobe web site without success.

The Elements 12 shortcut can't find the Elements12.0.exe file so the program will not load. I can load the editor from its .exe file but not the organizer.

I have forked the discussion (from Library collaboration not working to a new forum thread and updated the topic to File collaboration not working.
Two things to try:
Clear the browser cache and cookies and see if the error goes away.
Open the browser's Developer Tools and go to the Network tab. Do you see any 4xx or 5xx errors (usually the call will be colored red).
